On-the-go? If you don’t have a blender simply mash all of the “wet” ingredients with the back of your fork working it into the romaine lettuce.

Ingredients

2-3cups romaine lettuce, chopped

1/2cup chickpeas (2 hard boiled eggs or other protein choice if not vegan)

Dressing

3tablespoons hemp seeds

1/2avocado

2tablespoons nutritional yeast

garlic, optional

apple cider vinegar, optional

Instructions

Chop romaine lettuce and set aside in a serving bowl.

For the dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, hemp seeds and nutritional yeast. Optional ingredients to add to the mix are garlic and a dash of apple cider vinegar. Blend together for a thick and creamy dressing.

Pour dressing over romaine lettuce. Combine and top with chickpeas. If you’d like to add another protein source instead of a vegetarian friendly protein, try grilled chicken.
